Are you sure you are tried to add the CQWP in a site page within the same web application?Mohamed El-Qassas MVP– Mohamed El-Qassas MVP ♦2017-09-05 21:32:52 +00:00Commented Sep 5, 2017 at 21:32

Try to configure your CQWP and export it again then add it on your page,Mohamed El-Qassas MVP– Mohamed El-Qassas MVP ♦2017-09-06 12:32:01 +00:00Commented Sep 6, 2017 at 12:32

By default, the Content Query Web Part Export Operation preserves the list/library Name
<property name="ListName" type="string">Qassas List</property>
It also preserves WebUrl
<property name="WebUrl" type="string">~sitecollection/Qassas/test</property>
So
- Try to export the CQWP again then add it on your page, it should be working properly.
- Also, Make sure that you already added the exported CQWP in a site page within the same web application!

Tried that but when l re-add it back in l get the following message : [There is a problem with the query that this Web Part is issuing. Check the configuration of this Web Part and try again.] but if l edit the CQWP it resolved automatically same with adding it in the display template l have to edit it for the entries to appearJohn Smith– John Smith2017-09-19 18:38:33 +00:00Commented Sep 19, 2017 at 18:38
